Correct answer: A
Correct answer: Acknowledge
Meaning: "Concede" means to admit or accept something as true, often reluctantly. "Acknowledge" is an appropriate substitute because it also means to accept or recognize the truth of something.
Why the other words are not correct:
Repudiate — means to reject or refuse to accept; it is the opposite of conceding.
Negate — means to nullify or make ineffective; it does not mean to admit or accept.
Contradict — means to state the opposite of something; it conflicts with admitting or conceding.
